The State of Alabama has the following requirements:
The requirements for a common-law marriage are:
(1) mental capacity to enter into and understand such an agreement; (2) an agreement to be husband and wife;
(3) consummation of the marital relationship.
Hope this helps!

Several things must be present for CLM to occur.
They are:
1. You must live together.
2. You must present yourselves to others as a married couple. Some ways of doing this are by using the same last name, referring to one another as husband or wife, and filing a joint tax return.
3. Although not defined, you have to be together for a significant period of time.
4. You must intend to be married.
Just living together will NEVER make you CLM. Ever!

File your taxes as married filing jointly.
